Rita Ora Pulls A Taylor Swift, Says New Album Will Be About Her Breakup With Calvin Harris

Last year, Rita Ora broke up with her boyfriend of over a year DJ Calvin Harris, and they went through a somewhat tough breakup. But Rita has found a way to use that heartbreak for good. The singer was in the middle of recording her new album when the breakup went down, and Rita decided to push back the release date so she could use the experience in her music.

The "I Will Never Let You Down" singer opened up to Nylon magazine about how the split changed her music, calling her sophomore album "darker".

"I had a breakup, or whatever, and it really made me realize what I was trying to do," she said. "I had been fixated on this love fantasy, but really it wasn't like that, and I had to take myself back. For me, this was my moment where I had to be real and tell the truth and be honest. I love my pop songs, and I'm still gonna be pop, but this has just got a lot more depth to it."

It sounds like there will be a couple a new songs to add to our breakup playlist.
